When you're going through life solo, it can seem like everyone is in love with someone, and that you have to constantly justify (to others and yourself) why you're not.
But having some time all for yourself can be a good opportunity to put things into perspective. And this is exactly what the members of the Facebook group 'This Is Why I'm Single' are doing.
There are 424,100 of them and whenever they come up with a funny or interesting insight about modern dating, they share it with each other through memes.

As a burn works, but I'm more satisfied than not with his performance. And if l weren't l'd say it straight away. This whole "only l can satisfy myself" is not true for every woman.
Need a better partner... took me way too long to fully understand that.
Then EVERYONE is doing it wrong! "what is your experience with sex?" "apples and a duck. Not helpful? Of course not BECAUSE I'M NOT COMMUNICATING ANYTHING TO THE OTHER PERSON!"
That is completely the wrong answer!! I'd make you get out of bed and get me cereal, there's no other reason to have you in my bed.
It’s even better if you live on a lake or ocean front, but that’s probably a little too unrealistic
Anyway, the "old lady with a coffee" thing is still pretty much achievable for everyone.

So glad that we're back in the Pacific NW. I had lunch with a friend a few weeks back and she commented on how gloomy the day was. I was like, yeah - isn't it great? We've had some amazing storms the past few months. Had hail the size of peas yesterday.
Don't forget the blanket to make yourself a burrito while taking in your suroundings
I'm not really comfortable in Williams' company. Especially when they are high.
Yeah, that's one of the reasons I've been trying to bring back high waisted pants for over a decade now.
Seems to be all the rage now. I haven't the energy to (presumably) put talcum powder all over my legs and jump off the top of the wardrobe into my trousers just to fit into them. And worse still, have cold ankles. Nah, not happening. If I can't pull them on in 10seconds, I ain't wearing them!
Load More Replies...I never saw this before but it looks like to may have some semblance of a cats head.
a real guy can hopefully help her through her trauma, though it's best if she tries to work through that on her own so as to not encourage codependence
Alternate: imagine what you ought do for her to treat her right. Now do it.
That's true I unmade the bed I had just put together and headed for the couch.
I did everything for an ungrateful a*****e, then did nothing for another ungrateful a*****e. I found a good guy and I’d bend over backwards for him. It cycles, you just have to get the timing right and avoid the a******s.
Nah, I'm with a good guy now and I don't do everything for him or anyone. I learned my lesson. Ironically, not being a total doormat makes dudes want to do more for you.
Load More Replies...I could just sit there and dissociate until I am no longer young
Load More Replies...I read that frogs that are sitting in unnatural poses on photographs are actually dead or dying.
Heya! Sorry to be the person to bring bad news, but there's a high likelihood that this frog was killed to be put in this position and have its picture taken. It's an unfortunate situation happening to many frogs. If you see a frog sitting like this, it was put like that by a human and most likely in immense fear and respiratory distress (their organs don't allow vertical pressure like this). Also, notice the glazed over eyes, lack of nictitating membrane, the fact this isn't a species commonly found in water... not good
No one warned me about frog-bod and now I'm on a mission to warn everyone under 25
So what's this to do with "being single being better than being in a relationship"?
That’s the second date, the first one is obviously to find out if they’re a snitch and how well they perform under pressure.
Don't forget to test their driving skills for the getaway!
Load More Replies...Honestly, she's got the ski masks, blueprints, did all the heavy lifting and planning. She's basically already in a relationship. Why didn't HE think to bring the ski masks. Why does SHE have to remember everything?
Wife and I had that in our vows... partners in crime. We tear tags off mattresses...
Partner in crime, my kids are my world, I don’t do drama are some of my least favourite phrases in profiles!
Try being 35 and having not been on a "first date" since you were 19 :|
Almost 32 and haven't so much as held hands with anyone in 10 years. I might be ace though.

I just roll over on the other side... I enjoy having a big bed all to myself
My dog, more throw blankets than needed, a couple extra pillows and occasionally some clothes
The best advice is given by those who struggle the most lol
When my niece was little, Oreos were great. She only liked the middle, I only liked the cookies. Now? No more Oreos as she no longer likes ANY of the cookie anymore, and I'm not throwing away a bunch of cream I had to pay for.
It's one of those "do as I say, not as I do" type of things lol. Been there done that
Oh PLEASE everyone. Deodorant saves lives. Please apply responsibly. Ever been in a middle/high school? Very important!
E V E R Y afternoon when I walk into the school gym ☠️🪦
Load More Replies...was traveling. in the airport, a very nice girl was asking me questions and i noticed her body odor. once i noticed it, that's all that would infiltrate my nostrils, and it was rough... i "went to the bathroom" right before boarding. she was sat several rows back from me and both of her seat mates asked to be moved. there are times when deodorant is NOT an option.
Yeah that means you are probably ill or possibly a side effect of a medication, knew someone who had a similar sounding sweating condition and she had to get frequent Botox in her armpits until they found a less expensive medication combination that helped it. It's a situation that requires empathy and a switch to mouth breathing. That really sucks you were on a plane recycling the air.
Load More Replies...My youngest boys are 11 and 13 and I've been pushing deodorant at them since 9 years old. I've heard from the teachers at that age that the classrooms can get RANK!
Lol Dude the guy that works at the Dollar 25 tree smells SO bad that I am about to write a letter to them. I can't muster the courage to tell anyone inside the store...
I'm a remind people: deodorant can be worse than the B.O. But at least most forms are flammable... So it evens out.
I live in a tiny village. Last week there was a drunken fight at the pizza place and the cops were called. Myself and 3 of my neighbours were all sitting out on our porches with beers.
If it starts with BUT and your tone is off, then you are arguing. The difference between communication and arguing usually isn't the actual words, it's tone and inflection
Trying to work our way through this right now. I really have a hard time hearing you when the vein is out
Load More Replies...Yep, just lost a recent relationship to "me not seeing subtle signals". I told them in the very beginning I like clear and honest communication. F*ck's sake.
I'm not trying to be difficult, I am just expressing an opinion, based on available evidence. Please explain how I am incorrect and I will gladly change my opinion.
IRL i spend more time listening than arguing. Online I argue like a lunatic on adderal.
That seems to be my reality lately. Being open and honest trying to move stuff forward in a caring way just is not working for me.🫤
Well, sure, they're still staying off the meat, lol! Sorry, I will gladly see myself out.
Load More Replies...yes, but it's a toyota 86! it's the supra's little brother/sister! they are super cute, quite fast and are small enough to conveniently ensure that you will never be asked to help anyone move or for a ride to the airport.
Load More Replies...I saw “V@GINAL,” then had to figure out what to do with the leftovers. So now I’m at “V@GINAL. WHY? EFF!”
don't ask that here, we're (almost all) introverted :)
Load More Replies...I'll admit, there are times I wish I could just share a joke with someone, share memes... little things like that. But I've gotten so used to being alone that this is probably my fate. Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This 3D spongebob character will haund me for the rest of my life
They had the majority of the flags very well hidden under an elaborate construction of lies
You know how it is with the carnival games, made irresistible, manufactured with a catch.
Why I like cremation-- it's the closest I'll ever come to a smokin' hot body
Because even if I did, I am worth more than degrading myself to something disgusting like only fans
I read this to my wife. She cringed so hard, she said she'd never leave the house if she accidentally did.
might be a good way (depending on how bad the situation is) to end an argument with both sides laughing.
Load More Replies...Pretty much just flip the picture, everything is calm BUT ME
Load More Replies...One of my BDSM friends once started a conversation with some people that he never met before (on a BDSM event though, so them being into the general topic was obvious) with the line "if you do it right, waterboarding is a lot of fun".
Holy c**p; that never crossed my mind. Wow. Excuse me; I’ve gotta to remove something. (To all the people who got a mouthful of house key: I’m terribly sorry. You shoulda said something!:
Peter, you know this man. He is a close long-term friend whom exists within any pre-discussed boundaries you both set. You're to blame too.
Yes. Spring break was once a rowdy affair for me, but now I too shall become a sleeping Tom.
Naps are fun, relaxing under a blanket is fun. I will not be shamed!
Hmm... My 3 o'clock is late and hasn't blamed me for it... I am... Not at... Work? But all the screaming?
I'm a train driver, this is the kind of track that appears in my nightmares. Though usually there are more people.

Load More Replies...When they accuse you of something you actually did but you're offended they think you're the kind of person that would do that
That happened to me last week at school “did you draw on the ‘don’t flush feminine hygiene products’ sign while you were waiting for your friends to finish changing into their gym clothes?” (I did) “um, no, rude”.

Load More Replies...Exactly but I still got my husband through prostate cancer, alone. Men need to get that checked or lose it. From 8 to3.5
Legit, I have a list of those people who I haven't seen since they left so go figure
Yeah…they had other priorities except for the one who never makes excuses where the big things are concerned. Otherwise I would really feel alone.
Oh them? Yeah they left a long time ago and just didn't bother to say goodbye.
What I tell my husband (the chef) I'm going to have to do if he dies...
Rumour has it that I slayed a dragon and have the highest IQ of 1234567898765432 according to Guiness World Records
Load More Replies...Lmao I have a really bad reputation. I'm sure it isnt that surprising given some of my comments. I just like animals more than people. My kids are the only people I truly feel joy from.
The last time that happened, I was wearing a face mask after having been at the hairdresser. Not sure if it ever happened prior to that, though, and chances are slim it ever will again.
Can't argue with a selfish idiot. It's akin to being a hamster running on a wheel..
Depending on the situation... that's what I thought wouldn't be the right thing to say to me lol
They aren't wasting it, they are diluting it so they can get more of it out when it's "finished".
Load More Replies...Yeah like why am I feeling symptoms of depression nothing bad ever happened to me
i tell myself to settle tf down and try breathing properly. sometimes it works.
I talk to myself like a toddler: Are you hungry? Are you tired? Do you need a snack and maybe a nap?
And then they ignore you when you ask “good or bad” and you sit in your bubble of panic
Them: "I've heard a lot about you." Me: "Yet you're not running away. Interesting."
I've had it happen once or twice and I'm just like.. "Oh? Cool, so anyways." Let's just move right past this.. :D
This has luckily never happened to me. Not have I ever been on the other side. Although, I have been in situations where I was introduced to someone and my wife said, "you know, we went out with him last week for several hours" and I say "ooooohhh yeah, sure of course, I remember". But i know I'm lying, my wife knows I'm lying, and dude knows I'm lying. I don't remember people.
I hear this anytime that my department gets a new hire. I have an infamous personality.
Don't give coke to your cat (???) this and the white one btw
I kept thinking , the white one? Is that some new drink? Sometimes I amaze myself with my dumbness 🤦🏽♀️
Load More Replies...I appreciate the thought but remember that to win the lottery you must first buy a ticket. It is best not to assume that Mr or Miss right is going to just plop down in your lap. For best results you probably want to put your self out there and try at least a little.
My buddies and I only last week watched the old Nintendo ads he did. I miss him so much <3
Load More Replies...I was about to download a dating app, but on second thoughts.... This is just too real
Nah, do it. Get some free dinners and create some memes. FWIW, I met my wife on a dating app. There are decent people out there. My wife never found one, but you might
Load More Replies...In all seriousness, if your having a bad day please take a minute to realx and cool down. Its not anyone elses fault your having a bad day
At last a way visualising what my colleague does with stress :) Spread that s**t my girl
Most men love being coached, so we have a better chance to get it right
Either a) a euphemism for some kinky stuff, b) she wants a guy who acts like a gentleman and opens doors in front of her. I personally believe it's A, cause him thinking it's a chore is just hilarious.
Load More Replies...For the boys... Long John's. They aren't an old man thing. They are a god send. Comfy as hell and you'll be warm all winter. Been wearing them since I was like 20.
I struggle to find long enough long John's... But they rule!
Load More Replies...As a skinny person, layering has been of utmost priority since I was very young. Long johns are underrated.
This issue is that you can't just really just change your sexuality on a dime just because you feel like it.
Load More Replies...I just realised...how do you exist? I refuse to believe that a quokka can be sad.

This reminds me of how people take pics of sausages against a tropical backdrop
Like mfs didn't have different families across town and side women back in the day....
For real. Not to mention how many married people were cheating with other married people, especially back when divorce was harder to obtain.
Load More Replies...I have been compartmentalized recently, including no time for text chatting
Cue to your *soon to be* exboyfriend saving his female contacts under male names. Yeah, well played, genius.
That’s s****y. I make sure to forget what the person is saying and I know how to control myself and not reveal the secret. I can’t imagine breaking my friends’ trust.
Shame the first one causes long term damage to the cart. Unsure about the second :)
Can’t relate cause I’m aroace. Some of the memes to me seem to be made by s****y people but it could just be me not understanding how relationships work
some of them are made by people who have either some kind of mental health issues, eg attachement dissorders, depressions, anxiety, or simply had s****y partners so far and therefore are unable to live healthy relationships.
Load More Replies...I think I give up with online dating. Only yesterday some guy who seemed nice at first, within 5 messages had asked me a question which was something like where did I have the best sex/unusual place or something like that, I can’t remember now.
